Let's try the medium place

  1. Biden’s Israel policies basically didn’t matter; most self-ID progressive/“very liberal”/left voters voted Harris; Harris improved on Biden vote except ppl who didn’t vote for Biden but against Trump. The left punching from centrists is wrong but so is left narrative of too centrist campaign.

  2. People confuse is/ought: Pres race shouldn’t be popularity contest, but is. The policy stuff doesn’t matter to normies, the perceptions of relative left/right aren’t anchored to anything, most people get their political identities from people they hang w & develop pseudo ideologies to reconcile

  3. Ok, but given the existence of Fox, the hack gap, & overall right wing bias of mainstream media, think game strategy: arguing against that is disadvantaged terrain—engage least there, press attack on Trump & GOP weakness to shift lines. Kitchen table was weak, reframe on fascism & pedos.
